I attempted the headband set last night, but I was not pleased with the results at all. Well, that's not entirely true. I was pleased with it until I brushed it out. I have done rollers tons of times and have always managed to go from the frizzy brush out to smooth waves/curls, but with this...it was one big frizz ball. Perhaps I need longer hair? Mine isn't even quite shoulder length.

Before you brushed out the curls, were they smaller in size than your usual sets? I ask because it seems like smaller curls after unrolling = more frizz for a lot of people, myself included.

They were longer, I think. When I do a set with curlers, I have at least two rows in the back because even though my hair isn't very long, there's a lot of it! When I did the hairband thing, it left me with (almost) ringlets. maybe if I use bigger sections of hair? I'll give it a try and see what happens!

I get ringlet-like curls if I roll very tightly with the hair band method too, and that's not all that far from my natural curl so it makes for tough no-frizz styling because of that (I suspect). For harder-to-curl hair, it seems to work very well though. I've thought several times I'd be happier with the hair band method of curling if only I could find a fat hair band - something about 1-1.5" in diameter to wrap my hair around. Foam, even. Like one giant foam roller that stretches so I could wrap the hair over and over around it and then let it dry into larger curls for easier brushing. Maybe something exists but I haven't run across it. I tried using a big scarf wound up but it still wasn't a big enough diameter to make any difference.

Normally my hair is super flat! I haven't had a chance to try the headband again. Maybe you could try two (or three) headbands together? Or maybe they would bunch up?

This girl uses really large, fat foam rollers. Maybe those would match your needs?
I've been curious about them for a while myself!

Thanks, katiesparkles. I watch her tutorials all the time and she posted her source for them not that long ago. It's on my list of things to buy when I get around to it.

It seems very useful and interesting tips about hair care. I have tried many costly hair care products as well as home remedies to make my hair stronger and shiner but most of them are ineffective. Thanks for sharing this information in this threads.

I just posted a kind of tutorial - how I do my hair based on Betty Draper in Mad Men... check it out and let me know if you like it!

Hello to all of you! It's been a while since I last posted here in The Fedora Lounge.

Does anyone have a good tutorial (pictures or videos) about different ways for setting hair with pin curls? It seems that everytime I try to make pin curls my hair gets messy...!

Thank you in advance
